Payment method for Pakistanis for buying and selling domain names

Recently I got a comment from my blog reader asking me to share the payment method for Pakistanis for buying and selling domain names. As I am from Pakistan as well and can tell you exactly how the domain buying/selling cycles goes. As we all know PayPal account cannot be made from Pakistan so I am using one of my friend’s PayPal who lives in Singapore. Even without having PayPal account you can buy and sell domains without any hassle.

First you can apply for UBL Wiz card which is Pakistan’s first ever Prepaid VISA Debit Card. You can use it for shopping online and offline, dining, withdraw cash from any ATM worldwide. For more details you can visit here and if you are interested can apply here.

Just make sure you are applying for UBL Wiz Travelers/UBL Wiz Internet because that card has the maximum deposit limit of PKR 200,000. I have this card and using it since last year without any trouble. I am using it for buying domains online and since all major registrars accept cards so feel free to use it anywhere.

For selling domain names there are few Escrow services like Escrow.com, ECOP.com and more. Since I have used Escrow.com for buying and selling domain names. As earlier mentioned UBL Wiz card is also accepted at these escrow services.

If you guys know any other alternative methods for people living in Pakistan just feel free to share so that it will be helpful for us.

Domains I purchased at the end of 2012

It was a fantastic 2012 for me and hope you all had the same. I made some nice acquisitions at the end of 2012 and would like to share with you all. Some of them are LLLL which I think has really bright future because every day thousands of new businesses are setup which makes these short domains more and more valuable as the time goes on…

DKAM.com
TEDV.com
MediaLounge.com
Demining.com
SPCS.com
Atherstone.com
B4F.com

All these domains receive traffic on daily basis and almost all are type-ins as my focus is to buy type-in domains rather than traffic driven through backlinks.

What’s your feedback for the domains I recently purchased? Also feel free to share the domain names you recently bought?
